Alright guys, I'm gunna make a bunch of sub boxes for a friend of mine.

I will be using a Senco air gun, but which model should I buy?

I want to use 1/4" thick crown staples 1.5" long.

Does anyone have a different solution as to which staples to use? I heard there are some staples that have glue on the tips.

what kind of box do you want to build fiberglass or all mdf ....if your using a staple gun for fleece i prefer to use 1/2" crown staple for the simple fact that it's wider and holds down material better with less chance of ripping and of course less staples....1/2" in length will most likely do just fine ...hope this helps

Mostly all mdf. I'll just have to double staple right next to the first staple when I staple fleece to the mdf.

I'm about to pick up my staple gun. It's a Senco SLS25XP-L. It has a 1/4" crown and shoot staples that are from 3/8"s-1 1/2" long.

$179.00 at Western Tool Supply.
